Guest guest Posted May 2, 2004 Report Share Posted May 2, 2004 I know that salt is a big issue. Some say it is good for us and some say it is bad for us. I personally believe that it is bad for my body but sometimes I use sea salt when I'm really craving something bad from the SAD world like Fritos!!!!! :-( I figure that eating a green salad w/tomatoes and a little sea salt is better than giving in to the Fritos. I think that it can help in the transition to the raw diet. But I think too that we need to understand what salt, table or sea salt, does to our bodies. Here is what Dr. Doug Graham has to say about salt: <Is eating sea salt all right? Extracted sodium chloride, in any form other than the small amounts naturally occurring in whole plant foods, is an irritant and is toxic to the body. It causes a decay of the sense of taste, retards digestion/excretion, and impairs the critical cellular potassium/sodium ratio upsetting our natural water balance. Drinking sea water causes dehydration and results in death in only a few days due to the salt content; extracting the salt from the water and ingesting it leads in the same direction. " You would not drink ocean water, as the salt in it is vile, caustic, irritating and in quantity, deadly, even though it is diluted by a lot of water. Give salt water to a man and he dies of dehydration, yet fresh water hydrates us. Remove the salt from the water and you have Celtic Sea Salt, the very thing that caused the death by dehydration. Eating the salt, therefore, makes no logical sense in any manner. Sodium must be balanced with potassium, as sodium is extracellular and potassium intracellular. Lose too much sodium and it 'pulls' potassium out of the cell. The potassium must be replaced in order to 'hold' sodium again. If the potassium/sodium ratio is at all out of balance, dehydration or supersaturation will result. Forcing sodium via consumption of salt simply stresses the body even more, like trying to make up for lack of sleep via coffee consumption. Salt is deadly. I never recommend its consumption. " -Dr D Salt eaters who cease the practice will often take years before all the retained salt has been expelled from their bodies. Plant foods provide cell salts to the body in just the right amounts and combinations.> Just food for thought, Breezi _____ ms4runr2 [ms4runr2] Saturday, May 01, 2004 7:21 PM rawfood [Raw Food] Re: salt: was..... Detoxing(Mary Ellen) Salt helps us keep hydrated. When I first started raw my body " dried up " . My skin, face, mouth area. No matter how much water I drank I was not holding it in.

I agree that salt is in some food naturally, like celery, but it may not be enough. I have found that my desire for salt is GREATLY reduced on a raw food diet.

Guest guest Posted May 2, 2004 Report Share Posted May 2, 2004 UNless something is poisonous (causes death), it serves a purpose. To ignore that purpose or to denounce it because it has been abused is as unhealthy as its overuse. Our bodies need both sodium and potassium in order to maintain the electrolytic balance needed for nerve conduction. If I ate an all raw diet (including raw animal products and fish) that met ALL MY personal nutrients needs, I would be getting the perfect ratio of sodium:potassium that my body needs. If I ate only the plant food grown in my local geographic region and ate the animals/animal products from the same local region, I would maintain an balance between my body and my environment. However, few of us eat in this manner. Even when we eat a 100% raw food diet, we tend to choose the foods we like and ignore the foods we don't like. It is the food we don't like that is often what we need most! In other words, it is because we don't eat these foods (that we don't like) that we have deficiencies. We also tend to eat foods that are not local to our geographic region. The goal of a raw diet, then, is not to be on a 100% raw food diet but to be eating the foods that meet our nutritional DEFICIENCIES. Nutritional deficiencies develop slowly. It is possible to be on a raw food diet for a period of years and then suddenly begin to have an intense craving for some cooked/animal food. The craving has surfaced BECAUSE a deficiency has reached a level requiring action by the body. To ignore it would be harmful to the body. Therefore, part of the goal of transitional diets is to learn our nutritional deficiencies and find the plant food that best meets that deficiency and then eat that food regularly. Until it is found, to ignore a craving for a prolonged period of time is asking for trouble. You will know when you have found a healthy food that meets the deficiency when the craving stops! mary --- " L.Win " <rustym wrote: > > I know that salt is a big issue.

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2004 Report Share Posted May 7, 2004 Good Morning, Thankyou for posting that link. Interesting. I just wonder though, do you really believe that water and/or salt can cure all those illnesses? I know people that drink tons of water but still have problems. Just wondering since this is the first that I heard of any such thing. I will need to read further. I imagine that they are talking massive amounts of water also. I drink water but personally could not drink gallons of it a day...lol I'd explode Thanks again for sharing this.

We are sodium chloride life forms. We came from the sea. Our bodies carry the sea within themselves. If you have any evidence showing otherwise, I should like to see it. I know Doug Graham's position. He claims salt is poison. Pure rubbish. Just about any substance can become a poison when in excess. It is a nutrient the body needs just as it needs other nutrients. It is the overuse of salt that is causing the problems. We need iodine, right? Isn't iodine a poison? Yes. It is toxic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 I don't eat condiments, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic, tarragon, etc. I can't make a meal out of it, so why bother with it. The other animals of the world only eat a few things, why does man think he has to eat everything edible? It's simpler and easier to just eat what's offered at the produce store or the first aisle of the supermarket. I'm into using my time for more interesting things than eating. I don't eat things like garlic, onion, hot peppers, etc., things that are produce but not really amenable to my taste buds. Condiment - a substance, such as a relish, vinegar, or spice, used to flavor or complement food. What for? it's only food. No food tastes all that great, I realize that conditioned cooked eaters would heartily disagree with this. People on here and in the world in general are really addicted to this need, delight, joy in the taste of food. Each item I eat tastes fine, no supplement adds anything to it. And salt is too sharp to my discriminating taste buds and sugar too sweet, the other condiments are either too hot (paprika, etc.) or too blah (tarragon, etc.). If I can't eat it as a whole food item, I don't think it was meant to be food for me. rawfood , " Fredrik Murman " <fpm@t...> wrote: > > Elchanan wrote: > > > But rather than listen to all that, one could simply stop eating > > all forms of salt for 60-90 days (don't worry, you'll be fine!), > > then eat some.

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 since i read the post with the links to the water/salt cures i have been looking into salt. it's a lot more fun than i thought. there are literally hundreds of kinds of sea and mined salt around. each one has a slightly different flavour due to differing mineral balances. some rare japanese sea salts can cost up to $160 a pound, and you can't get a whole pound at once. name brand sea salt from brittany is over $20 per half pound with shipping included. shipping is never less that $12. the same salt without a fancy label is $20 for 2-1/2 lbs and that includes the shipping charges too. i'm getting red salt from tibet. it's mined and crushed by hand then carried out on yaks. i know for sure there was no pollution in the water a zillion years ago. i can't wait for some to get here. some processed salt is being passed off as real salt. read the label carefully for cleverly worded loopholes. regards, Dennis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(i was getting 2 gallon glass jugs, and i stopped. the last times i just got little containers and i no longer care about them) Because i wasn't eating any processed food there was no added salt in any other food but the olives. it was a total salt addiction but now, i seem to have flushed out most of the old table salt residues or at least alot and i am not starved for salt like i used to be i have not even been so excited about the chunks as i used to be (i think i will take a bath with them this week, i have so much) as i don't need them as much because they worked i still lick it once in a while but it doesn't give me the same thrill but its still good, just not so often ps - now i have to go and continue to change my address stuff when does life begin? it better start soon, its almost over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Thanks guys for the thoughts. this group pushes my mind into new areas. I think we are all unique and our own needs change at different times too. I think stress really changes my own need for minerals and foods and sleep. I am glad I have this group to talk to. Blessings to all. gad, i sound like tiny tim.........
